Thousands Comment on Breitbart Op-Ed Giving Background on Take Back

Breitbart’s excellent piece on the “Democracy Spring” effort to call attention to money in politics included a well-written summary of the founding and mission of Take Back Our Republic, as well as another paragraph on one of our Board Members, Richard Painter.

While I realize there is some sensitivity about protests because of the ones centered around political events in recent weeks, the author did a nice job of laying out the case that this is not the case in the Democracy Spring effort. Rather it is an attempt to call attention to the price we all pay for a money in politics system that picks winners and losers based on which special interests give the most political money rather than what is best for the country.
